M-eux test can access the attributes of the user interface elements as they are defined in the mobile operating system. This is an essential technique that has been used by test automation tools on the PC for many years. M-eux Test brings this functionality to the mobile world.

In the enclosed figure, you have a window of the Twitter Android application. The tool can access the definition of the edit field and thus test/verify that the edit field is enabled, that the value is empty and that the hint text is set to �What�s happening�. Without this technique, the tool would not be able to distinguish between the real text and the hint text displayed in the edit field. Using M-eux Test you can access all these attributes and create simple scripts that are at the same time very powerful and reusable.

It is the only technique to deal with the high dynamic interfaces of the mobile applications. Windows of mobile applications are not classic windows. They interact with the user using swipes, gestures, expanded spinner elements, highly interactive lists and many other techniques.

Jamo Solutions did not create a scripting tool of their own. Instead we chose to extend existing well know tools so that the QA engineers can re-use their experience and are not locked into a specific environment.
